PhobiasWhat gives you the heebie-jeebies?
It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*
Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

Little holes...I don't know why, but for example, stones with a lot of little holes and a spongelike appearance make me want to die.
No but I'm serious. Lotus seed pods? Can't stand them. I'm okay with holey French cheese, but when blue cheese gets lots of tiny little holes around the mould, I can't even look at it.
Isn't that weird? I looked it up, it's apparently a real phobia, its name is trypophobia... so there you are. It's completely rational!!
